Tate Consulting, a building services engineering firm that opened a new office in Belfast earlier this year, has hired four new people after winning a number of contracts.
Warren Smyth is a senior electrical engineer at Tate Consulting in Belfast. Tony Shek is an intermediate mechanical design engineer, and Ruari Mulvenna and Roger Dawson are graduate engineers.
Nine people work for the Yorkshire-based company in its Belfast office, which is in the Belmont Office Park on Belmont Road, close to Belfast City Airport. In the next few months, it plans to hire more mechanical and electrical engineers at every level.
The Belfast office is run by a team with a lot of experience. Jim Lee, who was born in Belfast and has been a board director at Tate Consulting for the past nine years, and Aaron Stevenson, who came to the firm with more than 25 years of experience, are in charge of the office. Kevin Gallagher, who is well-known in the mechanical field, also joined the company earlier this year.
Aaron Stevenson said: “Tate Consulting’s expansion into Belfast has been a major success and we’re winning a large amount of work throughout Northern Ireland and beyond. The size and scale of the projects we’re now working on is proving enticing as we build our team and attract ambitious engineers who are keen to work on landmark schemes.
“Welcoming Warren, Tony, Ruari and Roger to the team has been a coup for us and will further enhance the expertise and service that our clients expect.”
Tate Consulting is currently working in Northern Ireland on a number of high-profile projects. These include the soon-to-be-built Belfast Waterside, which will have 500 homes and is being made by the built-to-rent company Moda Living and Osborne + Co.
The company is also working on a number of new stores for the high street giant The Range. One of these stores just opened in Londonderry, and another is set to open in Sprucefield Retail Park near Lisburn.
